 Queen Angelfish Good evening friends how was your day?? And please one and all feel free to answer, I would love to hear from you all! I have not heard a word from hundreds of you for what seems like years so if this sounds like the case with you, send us a note to let us know your still out there! How many people are on the daily list?? You don’t want to know! Let’s just say a whole lot!
Here’s a beautiful Queen Angelfish I found weeks ago deep on our reef. This was not shot at night, to get a nice non-distracting black background turn your lens or dial your camera to f-22 or f-25 and pump up the flash, it gives you the look of night and takes away the bad background that kills many nice underwater shots. These Queen Angelfish are by far the most beautiful fish we have in Curacao but getting close enough to get a nice shot sometimes is darn near impossible. Typically these fish hang out in deeper water below 50 feet and hate divers, they are scared to death of everything! This one here swam into a cave and I waited and waited and waited until finally he made a run for it and all I got was one shot as he took off to much deeper and safer depths! Many of my diver friends out there have found the baby Queens before and know how beautiful those are but again even more difficult shoot as they never stop swimming in circles!! The Queen Angelfish gets its name from the crown-like ring on its head. Its diet consists mostly of sponges and algae.
That’s it for tonight, we had yet another mind blowing busy day, talk to you tomorrow, Barry
